From Rags to Rags
Rags to Rags is an irreverent, tongue-in-cheek collection of short stories about being the poorest kid in the room. It hails from the mind of Ellie Guzman, whose unconventional approach to writing humorous essays about uncomfortable topics on her blog has led to publication worldwide and an international following. Throughout her life, Guzman has somehow always ended up in wealthy spaces, from stumbling into the child acting industry, to scraping by on financial aid at a prestigious private university, to breaking into an animation studio and gradually working her way up the writing ladder. But in her personal life, she was always broke, growing up cramped in a one-bedroom apartment with a family of four and joining scientific studies to make a quick buck. Her short stories embrace the bizarreness of those situations as well as the realities of what being "poor" means, all through a hilarious and quirky lens. "Oh My God, Are You Bryan Cranston?" tells the story of the time Guzman mistakenly attended a screening with the cast of Argo, and how she attacked the hors d'oeuvres to cope with the shame of being underdressed in front of her heroes. "You Better Work" describes the unusual lengths she went through to survive college, like getting her blood drawn for cash or pretending to be a freshman for a free sandwich. "The New Normal" describes how exactly she made the leap from a career in medicine to one in television, and "Whitewashed" explores an identity crisis as a first-generation Latina coming to terms with who she is. It's a variety of topics infused with Guzman's unique voice, funny but sincere, conversational yet biting. It doesn't take itself too seriously; after all, it's not a story of rags to riches. It's a story of rags to rags.

If you said yes to any of the following questions, then this book was made for you.Who said Christians couldn't laugh or enjoy God's gift of laughter? Adam Frasz writes this book as a reminder that anyone can have a good laugh from humor that is free of foul language and inappropriate content. You can enjoy a wide variety of jokes that talk about geography, college life, sports, the Bible, and church and all sorts of random topics. If you are interested in using pick-up lines for possible dates, there are some options in here too (if you dare). The title, Pundamentals, is a joke in and of itself and was thought of long before this book was published.Lastly, Frasz hopes that the laughter that comes from the jokes in his first book can be medicine for those who have rough days or are going through the trials of life. While this is a book was made for Christians, all are welcome to read this book and share jokes with others.

Red Humor
It is important to remember the crucial era of modern history dominated by Soviet Russia and Red China, symbolized by Stalin and Mao, through Communist-style humor. The jokes were created mainly in the West, but also within the Communist system, which produced a rich sample of humor about political rule, music, oppression of the common man, and other realities of Communism.After tensions were thought dissipated between the superpowers, and capitalism was declared the winner, Communism was thought to have disappeared. But with the renewal of world difficulties, there is a need to reminisce on how Communism was conceived through Soviet jokes.Red Humor is divided into the Czarist period to Stalin's era, supplemented by memorable one-liners that immortalize that seven-decade harsh era.The author wrote this joke collection "to collect those bits of humor before they are forgotten."A Jew was dying in his bed during a bitterly cold and snowy night in Russia. He called his wife to his side and faintly murmured: - Sarah! The time has come! Call the Priest!- The Priest? Are you crazy Abraham? You mean Rabbi!- No, Sarah, I mean the Priest. I don't want to disturb the Rabbi in such terrible weather as this.(About the Author)Raphael Israeli has taught Islamic, Chinese, and Middle Eastern history at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
